About Berkeley

Berkeley College has been preparing students for successful careers since 1931. Times have changed, but our “students first” commitment hasn’t. Everything we do is designed to help students achieve professional and personal success. Berkeley College offers career-focused programs, supportive professors with real-world industry knowledge, hands-on learning through our internship program, and a variety of supplemental programs and activities. Graduates receive lifelong career assistance.

Academics

Berkeley offers a range of degree and certificate programs to help prepare students for some of today’s most in-demand careers. Programs are developed with input from industry experts to prepare students for the professional world. Updates give students the current skills that employers require, and programs are added to reflect the professional marketplace. Programs are offered through the Larry L. Luing School of Business, the School of Professional Studies, the School of Health Studies, and the School of Graduate Studies. Undergraduate curricula are supported by the School of Liberal Arts to ensure a well-rounded education.

Admissions

Berkeley College has a rolling admissions process that is fast and easy, and help is available every step of the way. Acceptance decisions are based on more than just past performance in school—we consider potential for success as well. An Admissions advisor will help you choose a program of study, arrange a tour of the Berkeley facilities, and answer all of your questions.

Locations

Berkeley College has locations in New York, New Jersey, and online. While each Berkeley location has the facilities and resources to provide you with an outstanding career-focused education, each has its own “personality.” Whether you choose to study in the city, the suburbs, or online, you’ll have access to everything you’ll need. Many students choose to take classes at more than one location or combine on-site and online classes to complete their degree.

Student and Career Services

Students come first at Berkeley College, and a variety of support is provided. Students may also participate in a range of activities that promote personal growth and development. And, a dedicated team of Career Services specialists works closely with students throughout their time at Berkeley—and beyond. Berkeley graduates receive free lifetime career assistance.

Public Safety Department

Berk-Alert

Berk-Alert is Berkeley College's mass notification system. Prior to or during an emergency situation, Berkeley College will notify students, faculty, staff, and others via text messaging, emails, cell phones, and home and business phones of any pending emergency.

The Berk-Alert emergency notification service allows Berkeley College to record, schedule, and send personalized voice and text messages to students, faculty, staff, and parents with one phone call. This allows us to reach everyone at a moment's notice should an emergency arise. The system can also send messages to a particular group. For example, calls may be directed only to locations affected by an emergency.

Contact Information

Your contact information must be current in order for us to reach you in the event of an emergency. Log into Blackboard and access the Self-Service tab to update your contact information.

When listening to a message, please be aware that background noise will cause the system to stop and start. It is calibrated very delicately to determine whether a person or an answering machine has answered the phone, and background noise may affect the delivery. If possible, move to a quiet area or press the "mute" button on your phone.

If you missed any part of the message, please stay on the line and press * (star) to hear the message again.
